Looking for evidence of speculative stockholding in commodity markets

Article Abstract:

Theory assumes that prices in commodity markets with speculative storage are a two-regime process depending on whether inventories are held or not. It predicts that the price process should have different stochastic properties for the stocking regime and for the stockout regime. Results show a higher-than-expected degree of persistence in the stockout regime.
